Kind of wild that Trudeau could have actually had a shot at winning another election because of how insane the USA has acted.

Ukraine has been known to the NOS since 2016 as one of the largest mafia countries and Natzi events and Hitler symbols and if you are not in favor of that you will be shot in your own country striving for 1 race over people whole documentary about Ukraine are also just Russians who lived there and have been plagued for years with bio labs on people and the development of human trafficking and drugs androgrome but apparently you don't care about that

Trumps orders from Putin is to cause chaos, drive a stake between our friendly democracies and to break NATO. It has nothing to do with what Trump says, it has nothing to do with fentanyl!! Putin is calling the shots don’t you believe in anything else!!

Putin…. Hmm\nShould I wage a full scaled war against my arch enemy.\nOr… get two bimbos a camcorder,1.5 shots of Stolichnaya and a puffed up idiot.\nEvil genius + evil imbecil.\nHasn’t fired a single bullet and tearing down his greatest foe

Donald traumpf shot his foot?

Back in 2016 UK shot itself in the foot with Brexit, now the US is starting to do the same thing.

What Trudeau done to mess up the country danger for US too, especially bring so many terrorist, crimes and dangerous immigrants, best shot for Trump to hurt Canada, otherwise Canada never learn anything

So we can all agree that this is some bullshit. We all agree that Russia should not be calling our shots. \nSo lets do something about it.

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

POTUS under Trump means Putin Owns The US! Russia couldn't beat NATO and the US but his slaves in the US are doing it for him, without firing a shot at NATO or US. \nMAGA. Moscow Agent Governing America!

You believe in working together until you force your Truckers to take shots like farm animals, then you shut down their banks, then you stole their bitcoin. Don't lecture us about working together. Your own people can't stand you, and neither can we. I think it's an honor that President Trump calls you Governor, because you are terrible at leading a country. We care about you as a human, and a person created in the image of God, but most Americans are very unhappy with you lack of leadership, and style of tyrannical incompetence. Canada would be much better off with America's constitution and wealth. If you really want to work with America, let the people decide. America loves Canada and we welcome you with open arms.❤

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

Dear CNN, \n The last time Trump went to Ruzzia to 'Negotiate' anything, he curiously left behind his Translation Team, his National Security Team, AND his Intelligence Team and walked into a room with Putin, (who had ALL those things with him). This resulted in D.J. getting pumped for info for around three hours. This 'Info' Putin has managed to use to great effect, as he entered into the Ukraine War, and now Donald wants to 'Negotiate' with Putin AGAIN on behalf of Ukraine?!? Trump doesn't even use the CIA for his geopolitical briefings, he actually uses 'Private Services' for his info, (at Taxpayer Expense) largely I'm sure, because anyone who is close to being Competent at what they do would 'KNOW' things, and would be correcting Trump, constantly, which he hates with a passion. On top of this there's Tulsi Gabbard who the Ruzzians themselves have publicly stated IS an Agent of theirs for the last Decade. It's for these reasons and more that I say D.J. is a Traitor to this Country for the love of money. \n How much more of an illustration does one require for a 'Worst Case' scenario?!? A 'Rogue Actor' taking control of the U.S. Government with full access to it's Nuclear Codes. It truly makes more sense to go Radio Silent with America, (for the time being at least) and co-ordinate with Mr.Zelenskyy as to how you will proceed. I would seriously be 'dragging my heels' on that Royal Invitation as well, as D.J. will completely misinterpret that to mean something entirely else! We in the U.S. are undergoing a COUP, plain and simple. No need to Soft Sell it going forward as Trump and Vance have knowingly delivered us to Ruzzia without so much as a single shot being fired. Thanks for the Post.

Trump is trying to collapse the Canadian economy so some how he can try and make Canada the 51st state without even firing a single shot.

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

America's presumptive 51st state lol... Shots fired.

This is what the ignorance of America MAGA voters wanted and now their ignorance and stupidity will bite them like never before. They learn nothing from Trump last failures and gave him another shot at fooling them again. This is on them for recession this Buffoon is about to put them through

Go Canada! Sweden will give you 2, no 3! free shots in the next hockey game ;-) Stand your ground, together we'll build a new and better world.

???? ya should've listened. Lower your estrogen shots

Trudeau is the sort of president we need in the USA not a lying parasite like the one we have now. In 1956 Khrushchev, then leader of Russia said that they would not have to fire a single shot to defeat America, that they would defeat America from within, and here we are.

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?

Canada is in comercial war with USA \nWhy he mix Russia an Putin \nHe was hid all these time and just now open is mouth with parliament shot down

Putin's puppets have marching orders to divide our country, trash our economy, destroy our security, remove us from NATO to eliminate allied relationships. Then Donald can just hand over Ukraine to a murderous thug named Putin. Pretty much on track, I'd say. They have been bought and sold their souls to the devil.\n\nI support Canada and hope they continue to stand up to the bullies. It breaks my heart that enough people voted for an adjudicated rapist, 34x convicted felon, conman, pathological liar, malignant narcissist grifter who is now calling the shots. He is Putin's puppet... pure and simple, Donald's a traitor!

Like January 2025 Drake taking shots at Kendrick. Nice?

TRAMP will make and making america GREAT again.????????????????????????? USA next time wote for another uneducated douchebag to meke america even more greater.??????????? and by the way when tramp was shot, i doubt he got shot in the EAR. IT CLEARLY HE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD. HE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE .????????

In 1956, Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death, said, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.”

Trudeau now you're talking about the well-being of people in Canada what about when we had that thing where everybody had to get the shots you know the new normal since when do you care about the people in Canada?

The US needs nothing from Canada. They produce Canola oil (poison) and tainted wheat. We don't need it. Love Canadians. Love Canada. But recognize that Trudeau is evil. After all....he pushed the poison shots onto his people. He is evil. He should not be in power.

Imagine resigning from your job and still being able to call the shots.....wtf kind of system is this!! Amd canadians just accepting this ?? WTF KINDA COUNTRY IS THIS. Don't wanna merge and have usd and ecpnomic union and a mess fixed justin creates? and not have a gov that executes? Get ready for nsf and bankruptcy

America was taken over in 2025 without a single shot being fired. For several weeks now, the destruction has started from within. All controllers have been fired and state security agencies have been thinned out or closed. The army has been purged and Russia is now the best friend. The Minister of Agriculture advises citizens to keep chickens in their gardens. The government is openly lying to citizens. If this were a Hollywood movie, it would win an Oscar, but it is unfortunately the reality.

Hit us with ur best shot America first now baby we don’t need anything from Canada ill get my maple syrup from Vermont foh

It hasn’t been fair trading between the two in a while, time for a Canada to cough up some money they have had the fair share for some time now and if Canada thinks they win this trade war they are sadly mistaken. United States calls the shots, they are the power house not Canada so good luck Canadians. Your hate for America will only hurt you.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

We still haven't gotten a satisfactory answer why CNN carried the Trump rally when he got shot in the ear. Why was CNN there at all, they never showed up to any of his rallies... Did they know something?

Why? Because Trump is an agent of Russia along with Musk, seeking to destroy the USA, intending to destroy America's unity , alliances, economy and create havoc in the west. They are being successful in their goals. He needs to be removed. Soon one hopes the America Maga people will see they have shot themselves in the foot with their false prophet. Down with Trump.

The US wants this, they'd have shot trump a week ago if they didn't.

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

See Canada passed a border plan. Yet Trump had a border plan and he himself shot it down and voted against it. So, who is at fault here? NOT CANADA, NOT MEXICO.

When Americans get it through their head that fentynal, Canada, tarrifs have absolutely nothing to do to help Americans \nThis is 100% about attack and destroy America's way of life ,via project 2025 and take out the government, and become Americans first dictator \nPutin found his very useful idiot and he became putty in his hand, then he molded him to destroy from within without ever having to fire a shot. He played the player at his own game. Gotta admit well played Russia.

There is a rogue Russian element in the White House. Putin has turned Trump and Vance into assets. This is a national emergency, and Trump, Vance, and their propagandist cabinet should be immediately arrested. In any other era they would have already been shot as Traitors.

Im from Canada our leader is a joke and dictator himself called us nazi cause we would take his vaccine shot ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

With an economy smaller than California by a long shot(Canada 2.3 trillion vs CA 3.9 trillion), I'm not sure what this is really going to do on paper...this is a negotiation...be patient...time to buy in the market when the prices are down...

Dear Donald. I think you shot yourself in the foot. You were too hasty. Apologize to Canada and scrap the silly tariffs. Canada has responded to your border concerns.

What about the coke coming in from that shot hole the USA

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

My apologies to Canada and Mexico for what our Orange Idiot does. He is clearly a Russian asset. Putin is called the shots for his stupid pet. Expect Trump to continue to align himself with Belarus, North Korea and all the African Dictators that are Putin stuges

As a Canadian I would do anything to become the 51st state\n\nThe country has failed the younger generation and is by far the worst country in G7, by a LONG shot\n\n(Since i want to leave so bad: migrating to the US LEGALLY is actually kind of difficult)

Name ONE country beside the U.S. that would allow this to happen without firing a shot?
